Introduction

The French Eevolution awakened a fresh attention to the Prophecies — Mr. Faber and Mr. Frere maintained that Napoleon Buonaparte or his Dynasty was the Power represented by the Seventh Head of the Wild-beast of the Apocalypse, 11

Chapter I

Mr. Faber's View of the Wild-beast of Seven Heads— He failed to verify it— He mistook the class of Rulers who were represented by the Sixth Head of that Symbol — He erred in respect to the Head which preceded the Sixth, the Deadly Wound inflicted on the Seventh Head, and the Restoration of that Head to Power, 15

Chapter II

Mr. Faber is equally unsuccessful in his endeavor to prove that neither the Power denoted by the Sixth, nor by the Seventh Head, held the Supreme Rule of the Empire during the Imperial Pagan and Christian Lines, from the Accession of Augustus to the Fall of the Western Empire, 25

Chapter III

Mr. Faber fails equally, in his Theory, that there was a Line of Emperors in the Western Empire, from Augustulus to Napoleon Buonaparte and Louis Napoleon, that was represented by a Head of the Wild Beast, 39
